Gender scan FAIL!!

So I went for my gender scan yesterday and the babies legs were crossed so I have to rebook for another time ππΌππΌ I told my partner that I thought I saw a winkle and I got a clear face on picture of the skull that I thought looked boyish too and he seemed disappointed! We have a little boy already who is our absolute world and has the funniest cutest little character I would love to give him a little brother and best friend for life β€οΈ But my OH (other half) really wants a girl and I hate that he'll be dissapointed if it's a boy π I think the gender disappointment for a boy is so common and I really don't know why!

Here's a pic of the skull though so yous can share your opinions if you don't mind βΊοΈ I'll be over the moon either way as the baby is healthy and growing nicely and that's the main thing!

I had one the other day and I was certain on the 4d I saw a willy! However it's a girl! The lady said at this stage the genitals are still quite swollen so to the untrained eye it can look like a boy. x

That's the thing I'm sure if she saw a willy she would have said something but she didn't mention anything, she just kept saying look how crossed its legs are!! Hopefully its legs will be open next time round π€πΌ X

I had the same problem with the legs so she had me turn on my sides a few times and walk around and eventually she got it. I'm having a panic though that it may be wrong! Although I think everyone that has one this early has that worry at some point. 20 week one will hopefully confirm x

Yes I don't all that! Walked around had a cold drink I was even jumping about and stuff to get the baby to move and nothing π Still had its legs crossed!! X

I'm in the same boat as you. My husband and 4 year old son (and pretty much all family and friends!) want baby to be a girl. Whereas I would prefer another boy, as at least I'll have some idea of what to do. I think DH (dear husband) will be disappointed if it's a boy. Boys aren't that bad, are they?

I'm the same literally all my friends and my OH (other half) keep saying oooo hope it's a girl! I absolutely love my little boy he is such a character all though hard work sometime he's so loving and caring at the same time and I love the thought of watching him grow up into a man π So to add another little character to the story would be amazing! My family are full of girls so although it would be lovely to have one of each I think I would be more than happy with another boy but I seem to be the only one thinking this lol x

Reflexes like sucking and blinking continue to be important this week. At times your baby may catch your gaze and look at you but she'll be quick about it. You should look back and smile broadly, while nodding your head. Read More

Your baby's almost a month old already! How did that happen? Time flies when you're growing. By the end of this week, your baby may be able to lift his head briefly when he's lying on his tummy. Read More

4 week old

Your baby's starting to lose her newborn quiver and jumpiness. She's holding your gaze and can probably lift her head when lying on her stomach. If you move your hand side to side over her head, she can track it with her eyes. Read More

That smile lighting up your baby's face may be the real thing. You can tell it's a social smile if he uses his entire face. Though babies will smile only when they're ready, you can get yours there faster by cuddling and tickling him. Read More

6 week old

By now half of all babies recognise their parents and openly prefer their mum and dad to strangers. Your baby may actually smile when she sees you and coo and kick with pleasure. In general she's more sensitive to her surroundings. Read More
